Great Northern Popcorn Campfire Popper

Yes, it works on gas and electric stovetops, though it is specifically optimized for open-flame cooking like campfires or charcoal grills. Just be mindful of the handle length, as it may extend significantly past the edge of your stovetop.

The open-grate construction is intentional; it allows steam to escape while the kernels pop. This prevents the popcorn from becoming soggy or chewy, ensuring a consistently light and crunchy texture.

At 19.5 inches, the handle provides a safe distance from the heat source for most campfire setups. However, if you are working with a very large or intense fire, we recommend using heat-resistant gloves as a precaution.

Because it is made of metal, you should hand wash it with mild soap and water after each use. Ensure it is completely dry before storing it to prevent rust, especially if you frequently use it in humid outdoor environments.

While it is designed specifically for popcorn, the metal basket can be used to roast chestnuts or other small items that require consistent airflow. Avoid using it for items that might drip grease or liquids, as the open-grate design will cause them to fall directly into the fire.
